Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-rendered pig fat in Trinidad and Tobago experienced notable shifts from 2018 to 2021. Market volume rose to 313 tonnes in 2019, supported by a significant import volume of 60 tonnes that year, which coincided with a decline in global export prices for pig fat, making imports more cost-effective. This was followed by a sharp contraction to 231 tonnes in 2020 and a recovery to 263 tonnes in 2021.

After 2021, the market entered a period of stabilization, with volumes hovering around 252-253 tonnes in 2022 and 2023. This plateau reflected broader flat trends in the country's meat production and export activity, as indicated by industry reviews. The context of Trinidad and Tobago's modest livestock sector size and a gradual consumer shift toward poultry and processed meats provided a backdrop for the steady demand.

Looking at 2024, market monitoring reports highlight ongoing interest in the fats sector, with global supply chain factors and competitive pricing continuing to influence dynamics, while consumer preference trends further shape the market environment.
